Middlesbrough’s Riley McGree moved a step closer to a spot in the Qatar World Cup after Australia beat UAE in the AFC Asian play-off yesterday.
The 23-year-old was an unused substitute as the Socceroos came out 2-1 winners thanks to goals from Jackson Irvine and Ajdin Hrustic.
Australia face Peru next week to determine who will take a place on the plane to Qatar in November.
McGree made his international debut in June 2021 and has since earned another seven caps.
